We carry a wide array of clothed spark plug wire and give the choice of a large selection of color options that we sell by the foot and or in a kit form. Our kits include your choice of 90 degree boots or straight boots for your spark plugs, the corresponding 90 degree or straight metal connectors, coil boots and connectors, plus 3 feet of wire in your desired color in 7mm stranded copper core or 8mm suppressor core. Learn the differences between 7mm and 8mm, along with how to install 90 degree boots / connectors for spark plugs, straight boots / connectors for spark plugs, and coil boots and connectors for your coil.
